I agree, were this actually pollution. If a court ordered it, this is immediately and permanently reversible. So there's no permanent harm done.

- Dah00n 5y agoNot likely unless you by court mean US court. If any other court find that there's evidence this is bad for some reason then nothing will happen. Space should be decided over by everyone. We need better, more restrictive, laws.
- mlindner 5y agoYes I mean a US court. They're the only court with jurisdiction. > Space should be decided over by everyone. I would disagree.
- Dah00n 5y agoSo who should decide then? If China/Russia/Iran/North Korea launches a lot of satellites is that okay too? What if they mainly fly around above the US for whatever reason? If space is free the US can't complain.
- mlindner 5y ago> If China/Russia/Iran/North Korea launches a lot of satellites is that okay too? What if they mainly fly around above the US for whatever reason? If space is free the US can't complain. This has been already been happening since the Cold War. So yes, the US is used to it.
- rich_sasha 5y agoIt's never permanent until it is. Cue 'forever chemicals' that were definitely harmless. Cue CO2 emissions - no one ever thought it's an issue until it is literally an existential threat. Cue nuclear waste - "nah, we'll figure it out". I really do wonder if Kessler syndrome will happen, with the amount of cheap&cheerful stuff we are sending into space.
